if this is what i just saw on channel 4 it was amazing! it was disgusting but beautiful, made me feel safe when I got sucked in but scared me. It had an evil feel to it but seemed as if it was right.. Perfect conflict of art in my eyes. I wanted it to stop but couln't look away. Alot of emotion and feeling expressed and supressed with this, nice one! The rain made it come alive too! any more let me know; jaybfast@hotmail.co.uk
